Commentary on Nehemiah 2:7
Theological / DevotionalLetters. It is significant that Nehemiah requested no letters to the governors between Susa and northern Syria. He must have considered that part of his journey comparatively safe, for he needed no special protection there. His enemies, however, lived in Samaria, Ammon, and other provinces surrounding Judea, all of which belonged to the satrapy “Beyond the River.” For his journey through that region he requested special protection and royal documents authorizing his trip. See Additional Note 1 at close of chapter.
